SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 28 out, this is Chapter 29 of this fic and the start of Season Two. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?

Pairings: Tieria/Sasha between Season One and Season Two. Allelujah/Marie and Lockon (Jr.)/Anew in Season Two.

Standard BS Disclaimers: I do not own Sailor Moon, Gundam 00 or the pairings. If I did, the other Senshi would be as powerful as Sailor Moon and kicking MOTD ass more often and VEDA would have least an anti-hacker program installed. The only thing I do own is the plot.

Chapter 29: Entangled Yearnings

Four months later...

Lockon was sniping at the A-LAWs defense squad guarding the second Memento Mori.

"I'm clearing a path." Tieria moved in, taking out an entire wave of Aheads with his cannons.

Setsuna and Allelujah moved in from above, Allelujah bombarding the particle beam cannon with his missiles.

"The A-LAWs are tough defenders, as usual." Allelujah remarked, his attack had turned the A-LAWs' attention to him.

"In that case," Marie disengaged the GN Archer to take on the A-LAWs herself.

"Allelujah, give her some support." Setsuna sent the older pilot ahead. "How are the generator controls?" he asked Saji.

"It'll linked up." Saji answered.

"Trans-Am!" Setsuna activated Trans-Am. "Raiser!" he extended the beam saber and sliced the station apart.

On the Ptolemaios II after the battle...

"Marie!" Allelujah called.

"How many time do I have to tell you not to call me that?" Soma snapped. "I'm Soma Peries, Super Soldier Number One of the Superhuman Institute." with that, she brushed past Lockon and floated off. How could you just throw away something that I could never have, no matter how badly I want it? She wondered, recalling how Andrei had killed Sergei in cold-blood.

In the infirmary...

"How's Setsuna's condition?" Sumeragi asked, Dr. Moreno was giving Setsuna a body scan.

"We're seeing more regeneration defects in his cells around his shoulder injury." the blond doctor replied. "The effects of pseudo GN particles; however, they seem to be spreading extremely slowly. This is different from Lasse's condition. It means something is working to suppress the damage."

"Perhaps..." Sasha mused.

"You look like you have an idea." Sumeragi noticed the pondering expression on the weapons handler.

"Michael, remember Johann's analytical piece?" Sasha turned to the knife user.

"You mean aniki's GN particles vs. pseudo GN particles comparison?" Michael echoed. "Hime, you don't mean..." he blinked at Sasha's broad grin. "Oh... oh! Aniki hit the nail on the head, didn't he?" he grinned.

"Michael, bring up Johann's analysis on the screen, please." Sasha beamed.

"Right away!" Michael wasted no time in pulling out the five-year-old document.

"Sasha, what are we looking at?" Dr. Moreno asked.

"The last fifth paragraph." Sasha answered.

"That's..." Sumeragi, Dr. Moreno and Tieria gawked at the specific six-line paragraph.

"A plausible theory." Tieria nodded.

"Explains quite a lot." Dr. Moreno stated.

"Michael, any updates from Johann yet?" Sasha asked.

"Nothing since his latest report five weeks ago." Michael shook his head.

"One thing's for certain, we can't trust Wang Liu Mei anymore." Sasha declared.

"But, she's been a agent even before we started armed interventions four years ago." Sumeragi pointed out.

"Not when she's playing both sides now." Sasha fired back.

"How did you..." Tieria snapped his head to the blond Princess. "Wait, Nena Trinity." he realized where Sasha sent the youngest Trinity sibling to.

On the Ptolemaios II's bridge...

"So, the A-LAWs have finally taken over the Federation forces." Lasse was watching the broadcast with Feldt and Mileina.

"In the past four months alone, we've come under attack from the A-LAWs over twenty times." Feldt noted.

"Things just keep getting worse for us." Mileina sighed.

"You know, I'm starting to think the enemy knows our exact position at all times." Lasse pointed out.

"It just keep getting worse." Mileina whined.

"Johann?" Sasha's pocket messenger picked up an incoming call from the eldest Trinity sibling. "Johann, what's wrong?"

"I've found out the Coalition's true motives..." Johann's fizzled voice sounded from the other end of the secure line. "'The Providence Plan...' and also..."

"Well done, Johann." Sasha responded. "I'm pulling you out right now; get all the evidence you've gathered and get out of there!"

Some time later...

"Enemy ship located." Revival smirked, the locator chip Ribbons had placed within Anew had given the A-LAWs the location of the Ptolemaios. "Inform the fleet."

"That's our Revival." Hilling chuckled. "You're like a dog sniffing things out."

"What was that?" Revival snapped.

"I'm just expressing my gratitude." Hilling giggled.

"Transmission from Captain Ritter, sir." the radar officer informed Goodman. "Celestial Being has been located at Point ES-8874."

"Give the order to send out the mobile suits teams." Goodman ordered. "Ask those two license holders for their help as well."

On the Ptolemaios II's bridge...

"Visual cameras are detecting mobile suit teams." Feldt informed. "0054 until they enter combat airspace."

"We have problems, people!" Mileina alerted the crew. "Enemies approaching."

"What's the situation?" Sumeragi entered.

"We've detected a total of twelve A-LAWs mobile suits approaching." Feldt responded.

"That's surprisingly few." Anew noted, taking a seat at the secondary weapons control, Michael was already in the ship's axillary seat.

"Don't let your guard down." Sumeragi warned.

"Opening Ptolemy first, second and third hatches." Feldt prepared the Gundams for launch.

"Sasha, I..." Tieria unexpectedly opened a communication window to the weapons handler.

"Tell me when you get back." Sasha cut him off.

"Roger." Tieria relented. "Tieria Erde, Seravee, taking off."

"You all set?" Allelujah asked.

"I"m ready anytime." Soma replied. "Just do it."

"Archer Arios, Allelujah Haptism with Soma Peries, commencing interception." Allelujah launched.

"Anew, can you hear me?" Lockon opened communications to Anew. "I love you."

Michael wolf-whistled.

"He's targeted and firing, all right." Lasse teased.

"That's awesome!" Mileina squealed. "The flowers of love have blossomed."

"Just go, already!" Anew flustered.

"Cherudim, Lockon Stratos, targeting and firing." Lockon took off.

"We're gonna go see her, Saji." Setsuna told his partner.

"Let's go, Setsuna." Saji nodded.

"00, Setsuna F. Seiei, launching." Setsuna launched first.

"0*Raiser, Saji Crossroad, taking off." Saji followed suit.

Both machines them merged to form the 00-Raiser, before shooting off to follow the others.

"Commence, mission!" Sumeragi gave the order.
